At least three people are expected to seek the Labour Party nomination for the Dunedin South electorate to be vacated by sitting member of Parliament Clare Curran at this year’s September general election. The date for the selection meeting is yet to be set. Party general secretary Andre Anderson, outlining the party’s selection process, said he expected the selection to be complete in late February or early March. The meeting is open to local members and affiliates and they get to vote by secret ballot on their preferred candidate. However, that does not decide the outcome, but is considered as one of seven votes in the selection process.
